[DMCForum] Value of VIN 16118, ebay 928 mile? car NEED ADVICE




Hello Gentleman:

Here in Pittsburgh to purchase VIN 16118.

Had to deal with three sales people so far, and I am pretty close to a 
purchase price.

The car is a low mile 1983, with 928 miles on the odometer. There are a few 
questions I have;

1) The undercarriage is undercoated with tar. Some DeLoreans were prepared 
at the docks in Belfast and the QAC's to hide the rust from the sea air. Is
this  a problem especially with the sensitivity of the DMC chassis?

2) the center arm rest area/window switch area has been modified to include 
a toggle switch & warning light, I suspect for the cooling fans. This part  is
no longer available?

3) frame tow hooks are badly bent  from towing the car.

4) the cooling system hoses have a plastic tie wraps holding the hoses 
together.

5) there is a small chuck missing from the lower passenger seat cover. It  is
noticeable

6) center steering pad has a DMC pin glued onto it.

7) the shifter plate for automatic has a thermostat hot glued to it where 
the 1981 clocks are located.

8) The original coil cover for 1983's has been replaced with a 1981  version.

My offer of $26,000 was considered as the dealer counter offered to  $28,000.
He wants more than $32,000 for the car. It does have a  cover, extra oil, air
& fuel filters, workshop manual, window stickers  etc.

What is your advice?

Sincerely Yours,
Michael Pack
